Sculpture Fields at Montague Park is delighted to announce the date for its highly anticipated annual event, Sculptures in the Sky.
The community and visitors to Chattanooga are invited to gather to celebrate Earth Day two days early with some high flying family fun this Saturday, April 20 from Noon to 5 pm at 1800 Polk Street.
Partnering with River City Kites bringing in flyers from as far away as Boston, Philadelphia, and the Southeast, the skies above the 33 acres of Sculpture Fields at Montague Park will be filled with colossal and colorful kites for this event.
Activities, including kite stunts, Rokkaku kite battles, fun music by a DJ and more, are scheduled throughout the day along with a kid’s area that will include various games. A dedicated area will be open for the duration of the event for kids to fly their own kites, whether they bring from home or available for purchase on-site.
